Chapter 1258

After a loud noise, the terrifying wind waves spread in all directions, and everyone was blown back staggering, feeling terrified.

And that space crack was forcibly shattered!

"Pfft!"

A disheveled figure shot into the sky from the altar; it was Ye Xiao, his face pale, blood hanging from the corner of his mouth.

That blow just now almost cost him half his life!

"Damn it, how is this old guy still alive? He was clearly shredded by that space crack just now!" Looking at the figure disappearing in the sky, Ye Xiao was stunned, then filled with astonishment.

"What is going on?" Ye Xiao could not help but touch his nose, feeling somewhat unclear.

Shoo!

Suddenly, Ye Xiao felt his body lighten, and his whole person soared into the air, skimming toward a direction.

"No way, could it be that old guy playing tricks?" Ye Xiao was surprised in his heart and could not help but follow.

Not long after, he stopped at the entrance of a magnificent hall. This hall covered several acres, magnificent and vast, with the doors wide open. From inside came an old yet thick voice: "Little friend, please enter!"

Hearing this, Ye Xiao stepped into the palace. It was empty inside, with nothing at all.

Ye Xiao looked around, and suddenly, a pale yellow light cluster appeared before him, suspended in the air, its light brilliant.

Ye Xiao's eyes narrowed, staring at the yellow light cluster, his heart filled with extreme vigilance. He could feel that this yellow light cluster contained an indescribable power; once touched, death was certain.

He was not sure what was in that yellow light cluster and did not want to act rashly, so he stood still, pondered for a moment, and asked: "What is this?"

As soon as the words fell, the old man's voice came again from the yellow light cluster suspended in the air: "A drop of essence blood."

"A drop of essence blood, then why leave it for me?" Ye Xiao was puzzled.

"Hehe, little friend can understand it as, this is what I owe you. I once owed you a promise, and today it is considered fulfilled," the yellow light cluster said with a laugh.

Ye Xiao raised his eyelids and asked: "Then what is the use of this drop of essence blood?"

"This drop of essence blood possesses all my strength. If you fuse with it, you will definitely reach the Martial King realm instantly," the old man's voice in the yellow light cluster sounded very solemn.

Hearing this, Ye Xiao's eyes flickered, and after pondering for a moment, he said: "Then what price do I need to pay?"

In the yellow light cluster, the old man was silent for a moment and said: "Help me guard the Ye family well!"

Hearing this, Ye Xiao was stunned and continued to ask: "Then what do I need to do?"

"I only hope that someone can take care of my Ye family descendants," the old man sighed and said: "Back then, the Ye clan ancestor clashed with the Demon race and fell here. The physical body was ruined, but the essence, Qi, and spirit remained attached to my Ye family ancestor's body, immortal..."

After listening to the old man's narration, Ye Xiao was dazed.

He himself was a transmigrator, so he naturally knew the terror of a Martial Emperor realm expert.

In this Profound Desolate Territory, even in Profound Heaven City, the highest cultivation was only at the Martial Master realm.

And the strongest person in Profound Heaven City was only at the third level of the Martial Master realm.

The third level of the Martial Master realm might be able to dominate outside, but in this Profound Desolate Territory, it was simply insignificant.

And according to what Ye Xiao knew, besides the Profound Desolate Sacred Land and the four great Marquis families, there were many hidden forces, sects, etc., among which there was no lack of Martial Emperor realm experts sitting in command.

Here, Martial Emperor realm experts were just ants.

And the Ye family ancestor fell here, with his essence, Qi, and spirit attached to the Ye family ancestor's corpse, immortal. How many such experts were there in the Profound Desolate Continent?

"Good!" Ye Xiao agreed and said: "I promise to help you guard the Ye family for a hundred years. However, within these hundred years, if anyone makes a move against the Ye family, I will erase them without hesitation!"

After a pause, Ye Xiao added: "Moreover, I will not interfere with the Ye family's decisions!"

After saying this, Ye Xiao flashed and left.

"Haha, good child, thank you!" After Ye Xiao left, a hearty laugh came from the Ye family hall.

At the same time, deep in the Ye family, in a cave, a behemoth opened its eyes.

Its eyes were scarlet as blood, emitting a bloodthirsty light, as if it were muttering to itself: "My soul imprint, finally someone has obtained it, hahaha, I have waited too long for this day!"

Ye Xiao left the Ye family and headed straight toward Cloud Sea City.

On the way, he remembered the previous scene and had lingering fears: "Damn it, fortunately I didn't plan to devour this drop of essence blood, otherwise I would definitely have been turned into slag in seconds!"

The energy in this drop of essence blood was extremely terrifying. Don't look at Ye Xiao being at the ninth level of the Martial Apprentice realm now; his true combat power could not even compare to an ordinary Martial Master.

If the energy in this drop of essence blood really exploded, he would definitely be killed, turned into ashes.

"Sigh, the martial artists in this Profound Desolate Territory, anyone pulled out at random is at the level of a heaven-defying monster. It is truly worthy of being the core area of the Profound Desolate Continent, truly extraordinary!" Ye Xiao sighed, thinking secretly in his heart.

"The geniuses here are simply heaven-defying monsters." This was Ye Xiao's only exclamation.

Throughout this trip, Ye Xiao encountered many heaven-defying monsters, each of whom was at the Martial Master level, and there were even several youths whose cultivation had reached the sixth level of the Martial Master realm.

Especially among those youths, three of them actually had seventh-grade Martial Veins and had comprehended Sword Intent; it was truly terrifying!

"Although my cultivation has skyrocketed, comparable to the fifth level of the Martial Master realm, compared to these heaven-defying monsters, I am still too weak!"

Ye Xiao shook his head and suppressed the distracting thoughts in his heart.

Very quickly, Ye Xiao arrived at Cloud Sea City, preparing to return to the Ye Mansion.

But just at this moment, Ye Xiao raised his eyebrows, paused his steps, turned his eyes to the side, and said coldly: "Followed me for so long, time to roll out, right?"

Swish! Swish! Swish!

As the words fell, figure after figure sprang out from the darkness, surrounding Ye Xiao.

"Kid, you are quite sharp." A man in green slowly walked out, coldly watching Ye Xiao, his eyes ice-cold to the bone.

"People from the Zhao family!" Ye Xiao's gaze turned gloomy, and he said coldly.

The Zhao family was a top-tier family in this area, and the family head was the leader of the Zhao clan—Zhao Qiankun.

And the youth in front of him was named Zhao Hao, their father, the son of the Zhao family head Zhao Qiankun, a young master!

"How did you find this place?" Ye Xiao said coldly, his gaze unkind, staring at Zhao Hao.

"Kid, it's better if you don't know too much! Obediently come with me, perhaps you can still save your dog life," Zhao Hao said coldly, his words sinister.

"Want to catch me to exchange for the Ye family old man's essence blood?!" Ye Xiao sneered.

Zhao Hao did not speak, just quietly looked at Ye Xiao, a hint of mockery in his eyes, as if he thought Ye Xiao did not know what was good for him.

"Since that's the case, don't blame me." Ye Xiao snorted coldly, his right foot stomping heavily on the ground. In an instant, dense sounds of breaking through the air rang out on the entire street, and arrow after arrow streaked across the void, shooting toward the Zhao family members.

Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!

Arrow after arrow carried sharp winds, attacking the Zhao family members with astonishing speed.

"Hmph!" Seeing this, Zhao Hao's expression turned gloomy. He flicked his arm, and immediately a precious saber appeared in his hand, the blade glowing with a dark light. Sharp saber auras raged out, turning into a wall that blocked the front, easily shattering all the arrows.

"Actually daring to resist, truly not knowing what's good for you, kill!"

"Do it!"

The Zhao family members shouted angrily, pulling out their weapons one after another and charging toward Ye Xiao. Saber light shone, covering the sky and the earth, enveloping all directions.

Ye Xiao's gaze was solemn. Facing the joint attack of this group of people, he did not dare to delay. Holding a broken dagger, he performed the Phantom Step, his figure flickering as he avoided all the attacks.

The Zhao family members were all stunned, and then a look of resentment appeared on their faces. They did not expect that under such circumstances, Ye Xiao would still have the leisure to dodge.

This made them extremely angry, and at the same time, they were full of killing intent: "Kill him!"

"Kill him!" Zhao Hao roared, waving his precious saber and charging up first. Thick Origin Qi surged into the saber body, making it bloom with dazzling purple light.

"Kill!" The Zhao family members also shouted one after another, each performing their martial arts.

"Hmph!"

Ye Xiao snorted coldly, the broken dagger meeting them, and a loud sound of metal clashing rang out.

"Pfft!" Ye Xiao groaned, his body staggering backward.

"Seventh level of the Martial Apprentice realm peak, the gap is not just a little bit." Ye Xiao thought to himself.

"Heh, let's see where you can run!" Seeing this, Zhao Hao grinned hideously, his feet stepping in the void, his whole person soaring into the air, killing toward Ye Xiao again.

"Go to hell!"

Zhao Hao roared, the precious saber slashed down, saber light crisscrossing, brilliant and gorgeous, as if it could tear everything apart.

Hum hum!
